there are no definite tests for candida- at least not from a traditional doctors office. Nystatin is what I take, along with some herbs, and it IS NOT toxic and does not affect the liver- it mostly stays in the intestines. (prescribed by my DOCTOR) Its even safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. When someone is desperate enough like I was their willing...

yes but the test did not say i only had one or some of the genes, it said i had ALL the genes associated with celiacs- so either i have celiacs or i could DEFINITELY develop it in the future

Yea, i also feel i really want a definite diagnosis. I have been eating a "gluten restricted" diet for at least 2.5 years. I def don't eat an equivalent of 3-4 slices of bread a day! My doctor seems to think that having even a little gluten in your diet will yield a positive or at least slightly positive result. Im just NOT convinced, i still need more answers...

It sounds like you responded well to a gluten-free diet so I would stick to that, that's usually recommended for candida overgrowth or dysbiosis anyway. Candida overgrowth is usally treated mainly with diet and antifungals. Usually you would have to cut out all sugar, breads, potatoes, white rice, anything very starchy as well as junk food like candy, cakes...

Do you have a history of taking alot of antibiotics or steroids? It could be yeast overgrowth. How do you react to sugars and simple carbs, because thats what they eat. I was miserable a few years ago- CFS. arthritis, muscle pain, brain fog, depression, cravings, etc.... went on low carb diet and took antifungals and was able to function again. I still have...

I recently had genetic testing and lab work for celiac from prometheus labs, ordered by my doctor. My doctor said I came back positive for having all the genes celiacs have but my blood work was negative. How much gluten do you have to eat to get positive results? I dont avoid it completely but I definitely eat a gluten restricted diet. What next? I have...
